Honestly, when you're getting a Soq, you know what you're getting. If you breed a wind with a reg, you're likely to get a reg. That's the risk you take. If you win a Soq as a freebie or in a raffle, you usually have a choice between several options. If you get a custom, and you want a winged breed but can't afford it, save up more before trying in customs. If you get a CYO or a semi custom, you know that the colorists have creative freedom and that you may not get the breed you'd hoped for. Once again, that's your own risk to take.
It isn't rocket science. If you don't want unwinged Soqs, don't breed with them or enter for them. I think an event like this would muck everything up. Suddenly staff would be seeing plees to get their Soqs pawed/clawed, and to get them to grow wolf tails, because if you can do it with wings, why can't you do it with other traits?

Here are my thoughts:
I think there's more to this idea than just "I didn't get what I want so now I want it changed." There are plenty of RP/IC reasons why Soquili may want to change. I've seen several Soquili through RP have wanted to be a different race; for example there's an ongoing plot between the Thunderbird Herd and one of Balrog's son's who would LOVE to somehow become a Kalona, due to a deep family feud. He hates his wind heritage and now wants to dedicate himself to Kalona. According to the official Kalona lore, one of the origins of Kalona is proported to be regular Soquili that were twisted by Kalona himself. Now sure, lore is lore and not reality... BUT it makes IC sense why some Soquili may want to change breeds. Grounded Soquili who fall in love with a wind who wants to join them in the air... a Kalona who wants to shed his traits because he doesn't like the negative connotations with his race, etc.
Now, because the Soquili shop is a low magic setting, it definitely doesn't mean it can HAPPEN, but the idea itself is pretty interesting. There IS magic in the setting...(domained) Angeni can shapeshift into a human guise, and have powers, etc. So yeah, I definitely don't think they should change the recustom rule (as in, you couldn't just change breed w/o the IC consequences just by getting a custom slot), but I CAN see justification for a RP based event.
However, I can also see why the shop doesn't want that kind of precedent, and the poll clearly shows that. But ultimately...just because an idea might not work doesn't mean its a bad one. smile
